PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) FACIAL















You probably have seen a celebrity’s face on Instagram covered with small splatters of blood.

Platelet-rich plasma facial also known by “Vampire Facial” is the latest trends in skin care, a minimally invasive procedure to rejuvenate the skin. PRP is derived from a portion of blood which contains platelets. Platelets stimulate cell turnover since they contain high levels of growth factors. It is essentially an energy boost for your skin. It increase collagen and elastin production, and it also brings in antioxidants to the skin.

It is used along with micro-needling to enhance penetration into the skin and is even being injected to the skin.

Some notable celebrities who have done PRP Vampire Facials are Entertainment mogul Kim Kardashian West, Bachelor star Keira Maguire, Israeli model Bar Refaeli.
